Why is my calamus tip always yellow and dry? What should I do?

There are basically four reasons why the tips of cultivated calamus turn yellow and wither. Treatment according to the actual reasons can improve this problem very well. Let's share the reasons and improvement methods with you.

1, frostbite at low temperature

If the cultivated calamus is not well protected from the cold, once it is frostbitten, its tip will turn yellow and wither. Because calamus can't adapt to low temperature. We need to move it indoors to keep the temperature above 5℃, and it can be recovered slowly through maintenance. It's best to trim the yellow and withered tip properly.

2. Strong light can cause harm.

Acorus calamus can't adapt to too strong light, and the sunshine at noon is generally strong. If exposed for a long time, the tip of the blade will turn yellow and wither. We need to put calamus in a cool place to restore it. It's best not to bask in the sun for a week, but you can bask in the morning later.

3. Insufficient humidity will lead to yellowing and withering of the blade tips.

During the cultivation of Acorus calamus, it is necessary to control humidity. If the humidity is insufficient, it will also cause the tip of the blade to turn yellow and wither. The solution is actually very simple. We just need to properly sprinkle water around calamus to increase humidity. It is best to put a hygrometer near the cultivated calamus, so that the humidity of the cultivated calamus environment can be well monitored. When the humidity is low, increase the humidity in time.

4. Insufficient nutrients lead to yellowing and withering of the tip.

If the soil for cultivating Acorus calamus is not fertilized for a long time, the tip of Acorus calamus will turn yellow and wither. We need to fertilize regularly to improve this problem. It is best to loosen the soil properly before fertilization, so that the fertilizer can be absorbed more easily. The choice of fertilizer is organic fertilizer. Don't irrigate the roots when fertilizing, just fertilize along the edge of the flowerpot.

These are the main reasons and solutions for the yellowing and withering of Acorus calamus leaves. Through reasonable maintenance, it can be recovered slowly. Don't be too impatient. If the humidity is not enough, it will only be counterproductive, which will easily lead to the root rot of Acorus calamus.
